Mike MacDougal has signed with the Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League.

MacDougal, now 37, pitched at the Triple-A level last year between the Phillies and Reds. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2012 and is unlikely to resurface at this point in his career. Mon, Mar 31, 2014 05:36:00 PM

It's a nice step, but Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon cautioned that it's "going to be a slow process" for Paxton. "Pax is going to be out for a while," the skipper added.

Charlie Furbush (biceps) is scheduled to throw bullpen sessions on Sunday and Tuesday.

If all goes well, Furbush will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday and could be back with the Mariners by next weekend. Furbush has been one of the more reliable arms in Seattle's bullpen, contributing a dominant 2.08 ERA across 33 appearances this year. Left-handers are hitting .105 against him in 38 at-bats.
